Morning Routines: Why They Are So Important

It wasn’t always
like that. A few years ago I had a hard
time getting up early, but once I started my business I knew that I wouldn’t have
uninterupted time during the day so I started working towards getting up
earlier and earlier each day.

New Mornings Bring a Fresh Start

I love the fact
that each new day brings new opportunities and it’s a chance to start fresh and
do better. I find that some days I just
don’t have the focus that other days provide, so ending these days knowing that
I have a fresh start the next day is always a plus in my book.

How you start
your day, or more specifically how you spend those first few morning hours has
a big impact on the rest of it.

Plan Your Morning Routine To Set The Tone Of Your Day

Have you ever
woke up and from that moment on your day went almost perfect? You got your work done, your housework done,
your errands ran, and your exercise done.

Everything was in
harmony.

Aren’t those days
amazing?

If you think back
what started this harmonious day? The
tone was set in the morning. That’s why
making over your morning is so important. It’s about much more than those first
few hours.

Winging Your Morning Brings Chaos

Now think back to
a day that didn’t go as planned.

I’m sure you’ve
experienced something like this…

You set an early
alarm to make sure you have time for exercise, meditation, or simply some much
needed “me time”. You have every intention of getting up and doing whatever
you’re setting out to do when you set the alarm in the first place.

You just can’t
make yourself get up. You hit the snooze button multiple times, or turn the alarm
off altogether and go back to sleep.

Think about how
the rest of those days went.

Notice a Difference?

Did you notice a
difference in how you felt? How much did you got done in the mornings when you
kept hitting the snooze button? Were you able to do all the things you set out
to do?

How did those
days compare to the ones when you got up with your first alarm?

If I had to take
a guess, I’d say that the mornings when you got up as soon as the alarm went
off went a lot smoother – like the day I described in the first example. If so, that means you accomplished what you
have planned to do or at least most of it.

Chances are that sleeping
through the snooze button didn’t just affect your morning, but the entire rest
of your day. You set the tone for how your day is going to go first thing in
the morning. That’s what the old saying about getting up on the wrong side of
the bed is about.

Start The Day With a Positive Note

I don’t know
about you, but I want to make sure that I’m getting up on the right side and
start my day off in a positive and productive way.

I know that I’m
not the only one because routine is so important. When I recently talked at an in person
workshop most of the attendees (approximately 20) asked me to explain my
morning routine to them.

I’ve learned from
experience that if I get up and immediately start working without any Facebook
stops – I get so much more work done because I’m on a mission to be
productive. I’ve got goals to keep and
to do that I’ve got to get down to business.

Miracle Morning Can Help You Establish a Routine

Not sure how to
make your morning the best it can be?
Hal Elrod has created an entire book series on this topic called The
Miracle Morning. He’s got them for Entreprenuers,
Real Estate Agents and Parents / Families.

On a side note
about this – I love how he has taken one thing that he has had success with and
repurpsed it to fit different niches!
Talk about genius.

Here is a book (with my affiliate link) you can buy, as well as a journal that works with it:

Mornings Impact Your Day – Spend Time Creating What You Want That To Look & Feel Like

Making over your
morning is an important thing to do and a good thing to work on because setting
the tone of your morning is going to set the tone of the rest of your day. By determing what you do in the morning – it
will make the entire rest of your day go much smoother.

I’d love to hear
about your mornings. Do you have a
routine? If so, what is it? Are you looking to change it to make it ever
better?
